Before taking questions, Spoelstra announced, "Chris is still out indefinitely. He is not playing tonight."

When Bosh traveled with the team Thursday from South Florida, it was his first trip since sustaining a lower-abdominal strain in the first half of the first game of the Heat's previous series, against the Indiana Pacers.

With his rehab progressing since that May 13 mishap suffered while elevating for a dunk, the decision was made to get him back on the road, traveling with the team's therapists.

As has been the case since Bosh first was sidelined, teammates are focused on those who remain available.

Forward LeBron James said he does not know how the team's approach would change with a Bosh return, with dramatic changes to the strategic approach and rotation in Bosh's absence.

"I don't know what the game plan is right now," James said Sunday. "We haven't had him out this long for a period of time, so I don't know. That's a coaching thing."

Bosh has been on the floor with teammates during the non-contact walkthrough portions of practices, talking the role of Celtics center Kevin Garnett with the scout team.
